LOTR: War In The North

I helped out a bit at Snowblind Studios last year, working on Lord Of The Rings: War In The North. Now that it's been released, I can show some stuff. Here's a character I was pretty happy with. Nicknamed the "Cave Slave", this character survives and thrives in the cavernous bowels of Carn Dum.




And some "hero" Orc helmet and weapon concepts, done in ZBrush......


Just another demon

I know, another creepy, bat like demon creature. A little cliche, I know. But it was so fun! And besides, when you are creating and designing creatures that have already been done so many times before, it forces you to step up and work at trying to make something commonplace look even cooler and more interesting. Hopefully I did that. Or at least sorta came close. Inspired by previous works from artists like Carlos Huante, Scott Spencer, Bryan Wynia and Katon Calloway. Sculpted and rendered in ZBrush.
